Our equity program is second to none! It allows all rental payments (excluding maintenance & tax) to apply toward the purchase of a new, used or step-up instrument when you finish renting. Also, your equity is never capped, so you continue to accrue credit for as long as your rental is active. No chain store, superstore or general music store can match our program. Only a violin shop can provide the quality of service and inventory you will need. If you are considering another rental agency, check their policy closely. A few dollars saved in the beginning may end up being very costly in the end.
~ Major credit card or debit card required for rental
~ Month to month rental after initial two month contract
~ Step-up strings for all of our rentals!
Standard Rentals
Our standard rentals are good quality instruments which are excellent for beginning students. We make sure that every instrument is gone over by one of our craftsmen before they are put into our inventory. We use step up strings on all of our standard violins to ensure that they sound (and play) as good as possible. A well set-up instrument will greatly enhance the learning process for students.
